Does anyone know the best way to cure hiccups?
Question:
Answers:
i inhale a bunch of oxygen without letting carbon dioxide escape. so sort of hyperventilate for a few seconds. you have hiccups because the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels are not equal. it always works for me.
swallow a full spoonful of dry, granulated sugar.
that's the only thing that has ever worked for me,
and that only worked once.
usually it just goes away.
it is caused I believe by spasms of the diaphram...
the spoonful of dry regular sugar does usually work. =]
do both at the same time. hold your breath (by pinching your nose) while drinking water. that works all the time for me.
Here are two ways that always work for me:
1. hold your breath and swallow three times
2. hold up your index fingers, and concentrate on getting them as close together as possible without them touching.
